Even the Bronze Dragon King cannot explain this matter to me. You are now the most knowledgeable person I know, so I can only ask you for advice."
Li De asked Khadgar while wrapped in a thick cotton coat in the living room of the guest house.
There was a stove placed between the two of them, providing a touch of warmth to the room. Li De reluctantly added more coal to it, but Gadgetzan had never considered indoor heating.
This heavy snow has been falling for two days, and it doesn't mean to stop yet.
After returning to Gadgetzan yesterday, Li De asked Buck to report to him verbatim what happened in the insect nest.
Li De was shocked after hearing this, but he did not draw a conclusion immediately. Instead, he went to consult the wise Bronze Dragon King Nozdormu.
But Nozdormu not only failed to answer Li De's question, but also solemnly informed him that even the Bronze Dragon could not clearly see the current historical development. In the next period of time, the Bronze Dragon would suffer a major test.
Li De had no choice but to retreat and ask Khadgar for advice.
Khadgar poured himself a cup of hot water and sat the kettle back on the coal-filled stove.
"I understand your uneasiness about such an unusual weather phenomenon.
Based on what you've said, I'm afraid your anxiety is justified.
Observing meteorology is also part of mage studies, and my teacher has very unique insights in this aspect.
I once read about meteorology in the teacher's notes. The teacher believed that climate change in Azeroth does not solely depend on cosmic energy and planetary motion.
Life activities in Azeroth also play an important role in climate change, but the teacher doesn’t know whether this impact is a good or bad impact."
When it came to Medivh's research, Li De's expression immediately became serious.
In terms of both strength and knowledge, the guardian puts himself to shame even the guardian dragon, and there is no room for Li De to be careless.
Seeing Li De like this, Khadgar continued to speak.
"But you don't have to be overly anxious about this. After all, there is no direct evidence that this heavy snowfall is definitely related to the Zerg.
The teacher's notes did not record this part in detail, because the teacher discovered that it involved a realm of the soul that even he did not understand well.
It’s also possible that this is really just an accidental weather phenomenon. If you still have doubts, don’t hesitate to ask Dalaran. They have been observing the weather for a long time and have the most comprehensive information on Azeroth..."
At this point, Khadgar realized that he had made a mistake, so he stopped talking and looked at Li De with an apologetic look.
With the current delicate relationship between Dalaran and the Protector of Hanhai, how could such important information be shared so easily?
Li De sighed.
"You also know about this?"
Khadgar smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"How could I not notice? The Kirin Tor Council and the deeper Council of Tirisfal always want to control the situation.
Because of Teacher Medivh's matter, I also had some disagreements with them. My behavior of helping the Protector of the Vast Sea to develop evil power finally made the Kirin Tor Council unable to bear it any longer.
In the later period, I went 'invisible' to the front line just to avoid them."
Speaking of Khadgar's life experience, it is also quite complicated. He was originally an undercover agent sent by the Kirin Tor Council to Medivh, but in the later period, he almost no longer provided any information to the Council.
Because after he took over some of Medivh's information, he realized that these things were not suitable to be in the hands of a political organization like the Kirin Tor Council.
Some secrets are only suitable for one person to guard.
The Kirin Tor Council was also very dissatisfied with Medivh's departure from control. If Khadgar had not possessed the Staff of Atiesh and could use the power of the Guardian, the Council would have taken tough measures long ago.
Even Medivh only had a partial understanding of this, and he really had no clue at the moment. Li De simply made a few digressions to continue the conversation.
"Then what are you going to do in the future? Just keep hiding like this?"
Li De just asked casually, but Khadgar suddenly said.
"I plan to settle here in the next few years."
"ah?"
Li De was a little surprised, and Khadgar continued.
"I won't stay forever, I have a dream, to conquer Karazhan and get all the teacher's inheritance.
But it seems that this is too far away at the moment. The borrowed power is not my own after all. I need to settle down for a while and calm down to achieve higher achievements.
At present, it seems that your place is a good choice. Although there are always troubles and stumblings, the advantage is that people's hearts are not that complicated."
Li De accepted Khadgar's explanation and then asked again.
"Where do you plan to settle in the three cities under the protection of the Hanhai? Gadgetzan? Do you need me to provide you with some help?"
Khadgar shook his head.
"I'm not suitable for living in crowded places. I want to choose Dustwallow Marsh. It's a quiet enough place where I can do research. At the same time, with your influence, I won't be disturbed easily.
I plan to build a mage tower there later. To be honest, I have a feeling that the teacher's soul is being reborn somewhere in the universe. In the future, he will return in a way that ordinary people cannot imagine and stay in Kalim.
The more I can get inspiration from my teacher.”
Li De didn't say anything when he heard that the other party chose to settle in Dustwallow Swamp, but the mention of Medivh later aroused Li De's strong curiosity.
Khadgar knew that Li De was still concerned about the snow, and after some thought, he gave his own advice.
"I'm just talking about my feelings. You'd better not have too much hope. Feelings like this are illusory. I don't dare to pretend to be a great prophet.
Regarding the internal and external connections between life and weather, I suggest you consult more experts on animals and plants, and when it comes to matters involving the soul, consult the shamans in Zandalar and Petra."
With one sentence to wake up the man in his dream, Li De suddenly realized that he had begged the wrong person.
Just thinking about the animal and plant experts that Khadgar specifically pointed out gave Li De a headache.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You must have heard that two animal and plant experts I know have had some conflicts recently."
Khadgar nodded and said that he had heard some, and then said that among the scholar community, there are countless friendships that have fallen apart due to different ideas. However, in most cases, the truths that both parties believe are actually correct, and they are just in a big world.
Just holding onto a corner of the truth is like a blind man touching an elephant.
Then, Khadgar said that he could lend the two relevant parts of Medivh's notes, hoping to provide them with some ideas to open up the world, eliminate their misunderstandings about each other, and resolve their conflicts.
After Li De thanked Khadgar, he was not in a hurry to find Brian and the others, because the study of deep-level principles was a long process after all, and neither Brian nor Hiloma seemed like people who could solve the current problem.
Li De first visited the ancient city of Petra. Several shamans seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The three shamans, Munn Earthfury, Drek'Thar and Nobundo, got straight to the point and aimed to eliminate the troubles in Li De's heart.
"This heavy snow is indeed abnormal, but you can rest assured. When the heavy snow first started, the wind and water elements did fluctuate for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, the elements returned to balance. This snow
It won’t be long before it stops.”
Mu En said with a smile, and introduced Li De to the elemental scales floating on the totem poles of the three shamans.
The four light balls representing the four elements are constantly rotating in a circle. During the rotation, the circular surface will deflect very slightly, but it will soon be corrected and then deflect in the other direction with the same amplitude.
, the elemental balance is like a shaking but firm top.
"You can see that the four major elements of Tanaris are always in dynamic balance. You don't need to worry about the safety problems of the elements. There are no safety problems of the elements in Tanaris now."
Hearing the words of the elder Mu En, Li De's worries were indeed alleviated a lot, but at the same time doubts arose in his heart.
"Since the elements are not out of balance, what is the real cause of the heavy snow now?"
Nobundo clasped his hands together and spoke in a gentle voice.
“All the material basis of everything in the world comes from elements, and this ‘all’ includes not only natural elements, but also life.
If the elements in an area are overall balanced, but the natural elements inside suddenly show redundant natural phenomena, the problem may lie in life."
Drek'Thar also frowned.
"I felt souls, a lot of restless souls."
Although they explain things from different angles, the shamans' views coincide with Medivh's, but Li De still has doubts about it.
"Frost Wolf Shaman, what is the direct connection between the restlessness of the soul and this heavy snow?"
Drek'Thar sighed.
"All things in nature are animistic and follow their own trajectory. Only the undead are special. After the passing of the living, if they cannot find rest, it will also disturb the world of the living..."
Having said this, Draketar paused and then said to Li De.
"Protector, you have a special connection with Stonehenge and the ancient city of Petra. In fact, if you calm down, you can also see what is happening in Tanaris at this time."
As he spoke, Drektal motioned to Li De to follow several shamans out of the ancient city and stand in the vast snow outside, teaching him how to adjust his breathing and open up his vision of the spirit.
Following Drektal's guidance, Li De closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, allowing his breathing rhythm to gradually match that of nature. When Li De opened his eyes again, he indeed saw a different scene!
Just above the sky of Tanaris, there are countless shadows floating!
These shadows are like wisps of clear smoke, their bodies are almost transparent, and their shape cannot be seen, floating around irregularly in the sky.
Li De was shocked and speechless, Drektal explained for Li De.
"These are the undead who died in this war. Some of them are dead intelligent races, but most of them are dead Zerg races. Perhaps it is the death of the nest mother that leads to the imbalance of life and death.
It’s just that we, the shamans, don’t know the specific inner connection between this. After all, we are not experts in studying the souls of the dead. Perhaps you can ask trolls who have more research on the souls of the deceased.”
Hearing Drektal say the same thing, Li De knew better.
"Thank you for your advice, I know what to do."
As for how to do it, Li De didn't tell the shamans clearly because he still had some contradictions in his heart.
When facing Bwonsamdi, Li De had made a mistake before, but he didn't expect that he would need to make this move after such a short period of time.
